VOWING TO RISE UP AND KNEEL: NFL Players promise an uprising against fans and football league

After NFL commissioner Roger Goodall waved the white flag of defeat, and sent out a memo, stating all players should “stand for the anthem,” the whiny, spoiled players have vowed a massive rebellion.

Truthfeed Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive lineman Gerald McCoy, said he thinks there might “be an uproar” if NFL players are forced to stand for the national anthem. The players say they will rise up against fans and the league in order to keep pushing their progressive Black Lives Matter agenda.

NFL ratings and ticket sales are tanking, which promoted Goodall to send the memo, pushing team owners to crack down on their players.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made it clear in a letter sent Tuesday to all 32 teams that he wants players to stand during the anthem. He did not provide specifics about how he intends to ensure it, but he wrote that it would “include such elements as an in-season platform to promote the work of our players on these core issues.”

Bonni, you’ve posted a lot of great photo’s here on BNI, and I have looked with sad, old dry eyes, but the pic of the faithful K9 friend was just a bit much. I looked at it for a long time, with tears in my eyes,despite not being American or even a dog lover, my heart felt like a cold rock in my chest, for this faithful mourning dog.
Heartbreaking.

Your pictures tell the story! Hard to compete with the comments on this page — good stuff.

Here is my comment (published elsewhere:

Somehow, these multi-millionaire hero-players (very talented athletes) have been convinced that people of color are oppressed by people of palor — even as they look out the window at black TV anchors, black entertainment stars, black doctors and attorneys, etc. They are convinced that blacks are especially set upon by law enforcement — being questioned and detained at maybe twice the rate of whites or asians, and more often than latinos.

Do they never think about the fact that young black men commit crimes at 4 or 5 times the rate whites or asians do? Do they not see that, in general, cops of all colors actually tend to give extra breaks to blacks, not discriminate against them.

How about walking into the ‘hood and telling kids to demand a proper education, to follow the law and to see what they can do to h elp, not how much or what they can demand? How about advocating a return to the solid, stable black family? How about showing and inciting pride in the flag — positive stuff?

Many Football players from all different codes around the world are just over paid egotists who only give a shit about anyone but themselves…So if they want to go down on one knee to disrespect the US anthenm then they may be forced to kneel on bith knees before Allah….What a bunch of deadbeats.

This is the destruction of the United States from within, just like the muslims said it would. The co-founder of blm is muslim and said they we’re joining forces. I don’t know if kaperdink is muslim but I read that his future bride is muslim. I don’t believe a non muslim male can marrry a female muslim, so from that, I take it he is muslim.

Any sightings of Plug Ugly Geo. Soros? He’s a lot of the $$$$$$$ behind BLM, thus also these kneeling thugs.

Also, what happened last night re the ‘Patriots’ game? When I tuned in to find out there was a film clip, & when that ended the teams were already on the field. I wondered if the clip was to avoid showing the Anthem. Also, I think I saw quite a few empty seats before I changed the channel to a Rodeo. I wouldn’t suggest trying that carp (eBay for ‘crap’) around a bunch of cowboys. They wouldn’t survive to tell the tale. YEE-HAH!

I believe it was Kruschev whp predicted that America would be conquered from within. And if a MOSLEM woman can’t marry a non-MOSLEM man what about George Clooney & Anthony, the Whiner. And the Whiner’s Ma-in-law was/is high up in the MOSLEM Sisterhood.

I would not be surprised if the whiner converted (that whole religion is right up his alley). I believe that clooney’s is from a different sect (not shitie or sunni). I read it somewhere but also questioned those. Maybe someone out there has an answer…?

I sent this to Bud’s ‘Contact link”, as it gets more attention than a petition.

If those jerks have no respect for the American flag & the National Anthem, & what’s more couldn’t care less about patriotism & the fact that tens of thousands, both past & present, have died for freedom & their rights to be idiots & unpatriotic, then I think a national symbol such as Budweiser should drop their sponsorship. Then maybe, just maybe, even though those players think they are bullet-proof, the coaches & owners will sit up & take notice—-& maybe, just maybe take charge of this insane situation. These idiots are no more than spoiled brats who have been catered to & coddled & are throwing temper tantrums. It is also a good example of monkey see, monkey do. They need to be shown that the universe does not revolve around them. They need to shut up, stand up, & run, don’t walk, back to their over-sized McMansions. Better yet, a good dose of reality, go back to the ” ‘hood’ from whence they came. Maybe a little gratitude might be shown for all they have been given, but I wouldn’t bet a thin dime on that, much less hold my breath. Friday nights & Saturdays are my football-watching days until sanity returns, & maybe even afterwards.

Bud’s response to my criticism. They even used my first name, but I’ve omitted that here. By the way, that ‘Rise up’ sounds a tad like a threat to rumble in the jungle.

People are often their own worst enemies; they travel when they shouldn’t, to where they shouldn’t, e.g., and in this case they should forget ‘the game’ until the spoilt, grossly overpaid snot-nosed kids smarten up, and grow up.

Many long years ago, I’m 78, the step-father of a classmate, he was an actor turned director, Gordon Oliver, told me that one critical letter to a sponsor had more impact than ten or more complimentary ones. I’ve never forgotten that. He directed a t.v. show, Mr. Lucky, that had an off-shore gambling boat as the hook. The sponsors were afraid of criticism, so they took away the boat. Pretty soon the show was gone, as it was just an ordinary detective show without the boat.

The NFL is not a necessity of life. Actually the NFL survives ONLY because of a fan base. Once that base is gone so will be the NFL. Then each grossly overpaid mental midget can resume life knowing they’re really not so special after all.

What is needed is a basic class in American history….a TRue history about the real greatness in the founding of this republic. The NFL is totally ignorant about how the country was founded. They have no idea of the uniqueness of the American Republic…But that said, they should totally lose their jobs…the empty stadiums, no sales on merchandise, the cut taxpayer support….should happen!

Should they kneel after the white flag of deceit what should be done: fire their behinds, burn all NFL products you own, like when the Beatles proclaimed they were greater than GOD, boycott games including TV sports channels etc. Money talks and the NFL cannot afford to lose more money.

The spoiled rotten, self-important millionaire NFL players live with great opulence and fame and spit on the graves of our hero military who fought and died so that our people, including ungrateful NFL players, could live in freedom and safety.

I wept looking at the pics. The grief and extreme emotional agony of losing the ones you love more than life itself is terrible. The pain never goes away.

‘They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.’

Thank you to all of our living military heroes, and those no longer with us! Rest in Eternal Peace with the Angels, Heroes!

I miss true American, patriotic Johnny Cash! He never sought to divide us!!!

I am crying from looking at those heart wrenching pictures. Just fire the bastards. And more people need to stop praying at the altar of the NFL. Too many are still attending the games. Why support these criminal multi-millionaires who are whining all the way to the bank? Football is a sport, not an obsession.

I have a suggestion, QUIT WATCHING just quit supporting the useless fools. Football is WAY overrated. I haven’t wasted five minutes of my time in the last 20 years by giving it to football. Anti American fools need to leave this country not be paid rediculiously huge sums of money. We need to find more ways to support our military people. Thank you Bonni..

Mr. McCoy – one must have fans in order to participate in an uprising against them. At this rate, the NFL will have no fans to rise against. What many in the NFL do not realize is that those of us participating in the boycott have found many more productive things to do than spend 3-4 hours watching a 1 hour game, and really have no desire to return to that activity even after the spoiled brat protests (tantrums) cease.

I stand for the Anthem, kneel for God and walk out on the NFL. Boycott these spoiled rich brats. We can fire them with our wallets by boycotting them. Virtually every stadium where these spoiled brats play has been built, subsidized by our tax dollars. All support for president Trump to shut off the subsidies, the tax breaks and so on. I would like to see them all ‘kappernicked’ and looking for work. Spoiled brats, try the honest and hard work at a local car wash at 20 thousand a year, instead of the stadium at two million+++ a year you sad sacks. I would like to see them all go bankrupt if they chose to ‘spit’ on our Anthem.

MOST of us are not allowed certain behaviors at work, to include and open political rhetoric. Get over yourselves you whining bunch of entitled BRATS!
Hope they ALL get fired and have to get REAL jobs, let’s see how THAT works out for them ROFL!!!

The most important component here is, are the fans willing to put their money where their mouths are and not go to the games? Not buy the merchandise? Because if they are then this whole thing can be changed. These players need a good old fashioned shunning and to reap what they’ve sown. They think they are invincible. Let’s let them know they are not.

Stupid turds, they cease to realize it’s that FLAG that gives them the freedom to live as they do, “Free”. Ungrateful usefulness idiots.
Scrolled through the pics with a very heavy heart. God’s blessings.

I’d like these BLM disgraces to consider for a moment that the NFL is racist, skewed in favor of African American players. I think all football teams should have a balance of other races on these teams. Blacks are way over represented. So just fire these disrespectful SOBs & hire new players. Simple solution.

Those prancing princesses are disgusting. At the very least they should all have to sign a code of conduct stating that if they don’t stand then they’ll be benched for the rest of their contract. I wonder if the NFL will still be in business in 12 months.

The photos of the wives, children and family members are so heart rending no one could fathom the depths of their grief. For those overpaid, spoiled brats demonstrating it would drive the knife deeper for those left behind.

I love this YT video of Christopher Hitchens where he takes down a jihadi sympathizer with the memorable quote, “and I think the 82nd airborne is brave to be fighting for it too, and you should be ashamed of sneering at people who guard you while you sleep”. Best Hitchslap ever IMO.

Hitchens was remarkably prescient in realizing free speech was on borrowed time in Britain and got out from under the rot. Were he still living, I would have loved to see him eviscerate these traitors.

Thanks BNI as an Aussie the photos say it all but the last one has put .sand in my eyes damm wind.These heroes gave it all the NFL grubs should thank them every day for what they now receive.To these NFL arseholes who do not stand no problem when the Anthem is finished start walking out of the stadium and start looking for a new job YOU ARE FIRED

SK…
They are all very moving…and I just look at those 3 baboons in their NFL uniforms…let ’em lash back at the fans…hopefully, if they do, the NFL will fade into oblivion…
Not likely, but one can only hope.
I called the Anheuseur Busch hotline to voice my Canadian opinion about the current crap.
INMNSHO, sure, they have the absolute right to peaceful protest, even on the field.

BUT here’s my point, for what it’s worth…

If I was to protest anything at my work site, my ass would have been metaphorically kicked so hard, I would have had to take off my shirt to have a shit…and I would have DESERVED IT!

If these NFLunatics want to protest, and they want lots of attention, then they should send out an announcement that sometime during the week they will gather at some well known PUBLIC place, set up a sound system that plays the National Anthem, with flags and all, and kneel till they puke…
You can be sure that CNN, MSNBC and all the other media outlets would slobber all over them…they’d get lots of attention and the spectacle would be just as “effective” if not more so that doing so on the place where they “work”…
They should NOT be allowed to protest at their place of employment. PERIOD. Just sayin’

I put a Toledo Mudhens Baseball sticker on a company vehicle once, and you’d have thought I’d put a Swastika on the damned thing…”Company vehicles are not to display any stickers that show any affiliation with any other corporate, sports, or political group.” And they were right.
Wouldn’t want to offend any other triple “A” ball club fans in case they would be offended and not want to do business with a company that liked the “Mudhens” or the good old Detroit Tigers. LOL

Thanks John, I served during peacetime, relatively speaking. The ingrates in the NFL should be driven out of business…the spoiled rotten punks should face a dismal future, including the management…all of them!
